A home on Crescent near Willowlawn was broken into on 2/10 at approximately 3:00 am while the family slept.
They took many items on the first floor including a paycheck, kids money from their back pack, television, etc... The police are investigating. Then on Thursday there was a break in attempt at the house next door at the same time, though the resident was woke by the movement of the window shades and scared the intruder away before he entered.
In both cases the burglars used a rear unlocked window and cut the screen as the entry points in the early am hours.
It is important for everyone to secure their windows, even on the second floor, and doors, perhaps keeping an outside light on. The first burglary was from the first floor, the second attempt was from the second floor.
